Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more

I write to you from my desk as I begin the first assignment of a new year. And while it may not seem that I am more focused this time around (blogging instead of actually writing and all), I feel more focused. I just feel better as a whole. I actually enjoyed my classes yesterday, which is something that has not happened for some time now. I didn't dread buying books or supplies. I feel that there is a great deal of promise and successes ahead. This year will be a banner year. This I promise you.

yes

As I sit here awaiting the arrival of what will be my sixth year of higher education, I am actually looking forward to classes. This is a rare feeling as of late, but a promising start after what was a train wreck during the last three semesters. I am looking forward to completing my thesis, which in my opinion, has great potential. One thing I will miss greatly will be those great people that I have grown close to and who have moved on to bigger and better things. It will be quite a different experience will out these people around me. However, different can also be good and beneficial. It will be nice to get new opinions on old ideas. Let this new journey begin. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
